diamond girl

she learned
to love
diamonds,
knew the cuts
and colors
where they were
formed
and how old
they were.
she wore
them around
her neck
on her fingers
bright stars
stuck
into the lobes
of her pink
ears.
she loved
diamonds.
it was nothing
but the best
for her.
and you,
as you soon
found out
were just
costume jewelry,
doomed
from the start.
